Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon - it's 1997 and the apocalypse has had an apocalypse

Oh Lordy, the OST to this is amazing. Brad Fiedel and Vangelis are channelled perfectly here.

The game is pretty great too. It's like 90s made-for-TV movie. Sadly, there's not much new in it gameplay wise except for the Blood Dragons themselves.

I'm digging the soundtrack. The game....not so much.

They've got goddamned jeeps patrolling bases. There is no stealthy way to take out a fucking jeep with 2 guys in it.

Absolutely everything in this game is some cheesy reference to an 80s action movie.

Long tall sally playing for the opening helicopter bit. Missions are named from dialogue. Your pistol is Robocops gun. These aren't so tongue in cheek as they are blatant obvious ripoffs. .. so awesome.

This game is gorgeous. Even with the excessive bloom. its all just from the neon everything. I'll 3rd the praise for the soundtrack too.

And once you get into it the crazyness is no less chaotic than the original FC3. I was hunting the birds for a side mission, and I get attacked by a bunch of goons in jeeps who for some reason start to miss me like storm troopers after about 5 seconds of firing. OF course that's because I didn't see the enraged blood dragon standing 10 feet behind me who came for lunch.

Let the games begin. So far I'm disappointed with the lack of Sly or Arnie influence. Needs more.

Considering that it's supposed to be a 80's action flick spoof you HAVE to have Arnie one liners in there at the very least.

Does anything of this calibre happen?

Frequently.

The one liners would do Arnie and Duke nukem proud.

"Call in a medic so I can kill him too. "

I think I may need to play this game.
